Description

In the glittering court of King Constantine, a grand hunt brings knights, ladies, and bright banners across rolling hills and misty dells. At its centre is Lady Gwendolaine, a striking beauty whose moods shift like the wind—graceful and proud one moment, reckless and daring the next. Married to the boisterous Sir Torm, whose blunt humor masks a shallow understanding, she struggles to keep the sparkle of her youthful ideals alive within the confines of their marriage.

Enter Sir Sanpeur, a noble knight known for heroic deeds and a quiet, steady bearing. While he rides back from a distant quest, Gwendolaine finds herself drawn to the calm confidence he represents, a stark contrast to Torm’s noisy bravado. Their unspoken tension hints at a deeper conflict that could reshape loyalties and desires in the kingdom’s glittering yet fragile world.
